I found the answer to my own question. Per the Commission,

"Establishment of a rapid exchange of information system (RAPEX) for rapid
exchange of information on products posing a "serious and immediate" risk,
when a Member State adopts or decides to adopt measures to prevent, restrict
or impose specific conditions on the marketing or use of such products.
Details of the functioning of the system are set out in an annex to the
Directive."

        Can someone explain the "RAPEX procedure" as it may relate to the
General
        Product Safety Directive? It appears to be some type of enforcement
        procedure.
